5 hard lofts for sale in Toronto under $750,000 (PHOTOS)
From historic factories to unique schoolhouses, living in one of Toronto’s many hard lofts is like owning a piece of history.
The city’s breathtaking industrial conversions are, fittingly, in high demand. The average sale price of such a space was $1,062,000 in May — or, roughly $1,083 per square foot. For comparison, the average cost of a GTA condo was $867 per square foot last month.
Despite high prices and higher competition, there are still hard lofts on the market for a more reasonable price.
